Text Order
TEXT ORDER: The Court ordered the removing Defendants in this case, Felix v. Farfetch.com US, LLC, No. 26-8726, to disclose the state of incorporation and principal place of business of Farfetch US Holdings, Inc., the sole member of Farfetch.com US, LLC and Stadium Enterprises, LLC d/b/a Stadium Goods. D.E. 6 . Defendants' Diversity Disclosure Statement, D.E. 8 , states that Farfetch US Holdings, Inc. is incorporated in Delaware and has its principal place of business in New York, and identifies both Farfetch.com US, LLC and Stadium Enterprises, LLC as citizens of New York. Plaintiff is also a citizen of New York. D.E. 1 9. It thus appears that there is not complete diversity of citizenship, without which the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c). This case must be remanded if the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. Id.Defendants have separately advised that this action and Akakpo v. Reynolds, et al., No. 26-08722, arise out of the same motor vehicle accident involving the same parties, and have asked the Court to consolidate the two actions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a). D.E. 9 . Because the same Defendants appear in both actions, it appears that the same jurisdictional defect may exist in Akakpo.Accordingly, it is ORDERED that, by 7/30/2026, the parties shall show cause, in writing, why the two actions should not be consolidated under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a) and remanded to the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Bergen County, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The parties' submissions shall confirm the citizenships of plaintiffs in this case and in Akakpo. Any submission contending that this Court has subject matter jurisdiction over either action shall be supported by competent proof, not the certification of counsel. See Hertz, 559 U.S. at 96-97. If no party shows cause, the Court will consolidate and remand both actions. This Order shall be docketed in both actions. So Ordered by Judge Evelyn Padin on 7/27/2026. (bt)
